More than 300,000 households received help and advice with their mortgage between April 2008 and May 2010.
Mortgage Help has been set up to provide information on who can help (including links to helplines), information on government assistance schemes and how to access them and facts to dispel the myths around repossession – such as ‘I’m better off handing in the keys’ and ‘there’s no point going to Court’.

Serving Tenants
The previous Government set up the social housing regulator, the
Tenant Services Authority (TSA), to ensure tenants get a fair deal.
The new Minister for Housing and Local Government has written to Rosie to inform her that the new Government is reviewing the role and the purpose of the TSA and that the review would be framed by the Government's commitments to reduce the number of quangos and to cut unneccessary regulation and inspection.
